Mark, Meg, Georgeanne, Todd, Sandy, Matt & Carol met at Bluseed
tonight and put our creative powers to work to draft the following
statements. We'd like to schedule another meeting to incorporate
suggestions and wrap things up - but calendars are pretty full. So for
now - please "reply to all" and share your comments.

Mission Statement: Promoting and nurturing the arts through cooperative
ventures of artists, businesses, and organizations by encouraging the
creative processes.
(General, simplified explanation - the external definition that the
public will see).

Vision (this has not been defined yet - this is a brainstorm list of
what we thought ArtWorks could/should do - how we promote &
nurture. This is an internal document that will help guide the actions
of ArtWorks - it probably should be prioritized)
